As a movie aficionado with a penchant for the offbeat and the enigmatic, I must say that the upcoming sequel to Joker, titled Folie à Deux, has me positively giddy with anticipation! The prospect of Joaquin Phoenix’s haunting portrayal of Arthur Fleck colliding with Lady Gaga’s electrifying take on Harley Quinn is a match made in cinematic heaven.
As you flash your grin, it seems like everyone around joins in the cheer! In the grand scheme of things, Gotham City transforms into the enigmatic character Arthur Fleck, portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix, and Harley Quinn, played by Lady Gaga, gear up a full five days before “Joker: Folie à Deux” premieres in theaters on October 4. For ardent fans of the DC Comics’ villains, tickets are now available for exclusive Fan First IMAX screenings of Todd Phillips’ sequel directed by him, “Folie à Deux,” which will be shown only once on September 30, as per Fandango. The ticket prices may vary depending on location, but the screening of “Folie à Deux” is slated to begin everywhere at 7 p.m.
In the much-anticipated sequel, we revisit the tumultuous universe of Arthur Fleck, as his enigmatic persona, the Joker, encounters a character who will eventually become the Joker’s arch-nemesis, the future Clown Prince of Crime. Unlike Batman’s formidable adversary, Harley Quinn didn’t debut in the comics published by DC. Instead, she was introduced in Season 1 of Batman: The Animated Series, airing from 1992 to 1995.
Meanwhile, Margot Robbie has been playing the role of Quinzel in movies, but Lady Gaga will offer a unique interpretation of the beloved character in “Folie à Deux.” In a recent conversation with Vogue, the artist and actress hinted that her own “madness” and “disorder” played a significant part in creating her version of the Batman villain.
Harley Quinn is a character well-known in the realm of popular culture. When I was developing her, I had a unique perspective – my personal encounters with mania and chaos within me. Contrary to some stereotypes that portray women as overly emotional and erratic during stressful times, I believe that when life pushes us to our limits, beyond the realms of normality, it can instead lead to a sense of calm or quietness.
Scripting and Perfecting Joker & Harley Quinn
The numerous revisions for “Joker: Folie à Deux” undoubtedly challenged Lady Gaga, but the multiple award-winning artist proved to be a valuable collaborator, bringing purpose and creativity to director Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix’s already established cinematic playground. A significant aspect of making the supervillain sequel a success was when these three creators teamed up to write the screenplay with a focus on perfection – even if it involved jotting down ideas and scenes on napkins. During an interview, Phillips shared:
I’d say Joaquin Phoenix is like an intricate tunnel at the end of a path, where you think ‘let’s just go ahead and film this scene’, but he insists on a quick discussion first. Hours later, we’re rewriting it on a napkin.
As of now, the anticipated sequel to “Joker” titled “Joker: Folie à Deux” is projected to have a monumental opening weekend. This long-awaited sequel featuring the return of Arthur Fleck could potentially earn between $115 million and $145 million domestically, significantly surpassing the original film’s debut of $96.2 million (as reported by Box Office Mojo). Given these figures, it seems that movie enthusiasts are eager to witness Harley Quinn, portrayed by Lady Gaga, and Joaquin Phoenix’s Mr. J engaging in a chaotic dance, leaving an unaware Gotham city in their wake.
Tickets for the upcoming movie “Joker: Folie à Deux” on September 30 are available for purchase through Fandango’s official site at this moment. Don’t forget to watch the official trailer (located below).
